What exactly does it mean?
Right now, US embassies world wide halted visa services. So, they can't process immigrant and non-immigrant visas.
USCIS has stopped any in-person interviews at local field offices. That will keep in limbo those who have filed for change of status while being in the States.
Are USCIS service centers processing any applications for visa petitions?
Trump has made it really difficult in the last three years just by using delay tactics. USCIS field offices are just sitting on applications, not calling for interviews; when they call for interviews, they don't decide on time.
Now another Executive Order?

- cylinder 7y agoIt's basically just extending the consular closures indefinitely. Before this they were taking appointments from May/June for many of them so there was hope. But now, there's no way he will resume before the elections. Service Centers -- much less clear he can stop these. These immigration benefits arise out of statutes so they would need Congress to stop. But he can use COVID as an excuse to mandate they close to ensure safety.
- raincom 7y agoJust found out that service centers/lockboxes are accepting applications. If these apps don't have any previous biometrics, they may not get any EAD/AP, since ASCs are closed. However, if USCIS has previous biometrics, they will issue EAD/AP cards. It is true that Trump can't stop immigration benefits. He has successfully delayed processing many adjustment of status applications. What can Congress do here? Nothing but IG report.
